<title>Floor type 0 setup and decode</title>


<section>
<title>Overview</title>

<para>
Vorbis floor type zero uses Line Spectral Pair (LSP, also alternately
known as Line Spectral Frequency or LSF) representation to encode a
smooth spectral envelope curve as the frequency response of the LSP
filter.  This representation is equivalent to a traditional all-pole
infinite impulse response filter as would be used in linear predictive
coding; LSP representation may be converted to LPC representation and
vice-versa.</para>

<title>Floor 0 format</title>

<para>
Floor zero configuration consists of six integer fields and a list of
VQ codebooks for use in coding/decoding the LSP filter coefficient
values used by each frame. </para>

<section><title>header decode</title>

<para>
Configuration information for instances of floor zero decodes from the
codec setup header (third packet).  configuration decode proceeds as
follows:</para>

<screen>
  1) [floor0_order] = read an unsigned integer of 8 bits
  2) [floor0_rate] = read an unsigned integer of 16 bits
  3) [floor0_bark_map_size] = read an unsigned integer of 16 bits
  4) [floor0_amplitude_bits] = read an unsigned integer of six bits
  5) [floor0_amplitude_offset] = read an unsigned integer of eight bits
  6) [floor0_number_of_books] = read an unsigned integer of four bits and add 1
  7) array [floor0_book_list] = read a list of [floor0_number_of_books] unsigned integers of eight bits each;
</screen>

<para>
An end-of-packet condition during any of these bitstream reads renders
this stream undecodable.  In addition, any element of the array
<varname>[floor0_book_list]</varname> that is greater than the maximum codebook
number for this bitstream is an error condition that also renders the
stream undecodable.</para>

<section id="vorbis-spec-floor0-decode">
<title>packet decode</title>

<para>
Extracting a floor0 curve from an audio packet consists of first
decoding the curve amplitude and <varname>[floor0_order]</varname> LSP
coefficient values from the bitstream, and then computing the floor
curve, which is defined as the frequency response of the decoded LSP
filter.</para>

<para>
Packet decode proceeds as follows:</para>
<screen>
  1) [amplitude] = read an unsigned integer of [floor0_amplitude_bits] bits
  2) if ( [amplitude] is greater than zero ) {
       3) [coefficients] is an empty, zero length vector
       4) [booknumber] = read an unsigned integer of <link linkend="vorbis-spec-ilog">ilog</link>( [floor0_number_of_books] ) bits
       5) if ( [booknumber] is greater than the highest number decode codebook ) then packet is undecodable
       6) [last] = zero;
       7) vector [temp_vector] = read vector from bitstream using codebook number [floor0_book_list] element [booknumber] in VQ context.
       8) add the scalar value [last] to each scalar in vector [temp_vector]
       9) [last] = the value of the last scalar in vector [temp_vector]
      10) concatenate [temp_vector] onto the end of the [coefficients] vector
      11) if (length of vector [coefficients] is less than [floor0_order], continue at step 6

     }

 12) done.

<para>
Take note of the following properties of decode:
<itemizedlist>
 <listitem><simpara>An <varname>[amplitude]</varname> value of zero must result in a return code that indicates this channel is unused in this frame (the output of the channel will be all-zeroes in synthesis).  Several later stages of decode don't occur for an unused channel.</simpara></listitem>
 <listitem><simpara>An end-of-packet condition during decode should be considered a
nominal occruence; if end-of-packet is reached during any read
operation above, floor decode is to return 'unused' status as if the
<varname>[amplitude]</varname> value had read zero at the beginning of decode.</simpara></listitem>

 <listitem><simpara>The book number used for decode
can, in fact, be stored in the bitstream in <link linkend="vorbis-spec-ilog">ilog</link>( <varname>[floor0_number_of_books]</varname> -
1 ) bits.  Nevertheless, the above specification is correct and values
greater than the maximum possible book value are reserved.</simpara></listitem>

 <listitem><simpara>The number of scalars read into the vector <varname>[coefficients]</varname>
may be greater than <varname>[floor0_order]</varname>, the number actually
required for curve computation.  For example, if the VQ codebook used
for the floor currently being decoded has a
<varname>[codebook_dimensions]</varname> value of three and
<varname>[floor0_order]</varname> is ten, the only way to fill all the needed
scalars in <varname>[coefficients]</varname> is to to read a total of twelve
scalars as four vectors of three scalars each.  This is not an error
condition, and care must be taken not to allow a buffer overflow in
decode. The extra values are not used and may be ignored or discarded.</simpara></listitem>

<title>curve computation</title>

<para>
Given an <varname>[amplitude]</varname> integer and <varname>[coefficients]</varname>
vector from packet decode as well as the [floor0_order],
[floor0_rate], [floor0_bark_map_size], [floor0_amplitude_bits] and
[floor0_amplitude_offset] values from floor setup, and an output
vector size <varname>[n]</varname> specified by the decode process, we compute a
floor output vector.</para>

<para>
If the value <varname>[amplitude]</varname> is zero, the return value is a
length <varname>[n]</varname> vector with all-zero scalars.  Otherwise, begin by
assuming the following definitions for the given vector to be
synthesized:</para>
